I wish the best to “silent meow” and am sorry for his/her problems. I have to say it bums me out to see it on this board, ‘though. This is where I come to escape the ugly world, and to ogle pictures of cats, dogs, babies, chipmunks. I hope this board doesn’t change, and the postings are kept light and humorous.

Annie – and everyone else – thanks Dale had a great checkup, all things considered. She has gained back 3/4 of a pound in a month and her numbers are a little better. The sub-Q’s been working great. She may need to go on another med but she’s gotten less fussy about taking them as she gets used to the routine. She looks much better and seems much happier than last month!

OO… Ahhhh… Huge cat there or is the baby small?

So.. kawaii haaha

@hamster-on-rye,
Thanks! I really, really needed to hear that.
I am not going to let my lying-in-court abuser and his lying witnesses simply get away with such malicious, inflammatory, defaming lies in court. My court battle has only just begun. The creep is going to have to keep missing work in order to keep showing up to court and keep trying to not lose his case. He is digging himself into a deeper and deeper hole, legally, and I am getting all the documentation and court transcripts I can to prove it. I am not working at this time and am not attending any formal education except a correspondence school, and so I have a great deal of schedule flexibility. And, as you may know, it costs me nothing at all to file, and re-file under a different commissioner, a domestic violence protection order. I also have other protection-order options (free with a fee waiver due to my income level) as well, and other free legal options at my disposal. I have nothing to lose. And, I am learning a lot of stuff about the laws and court system this way, which will only help me later if I decide to become a DV/SA advocate. Peace.

@Katrina,
I need the protection order due to the multiple psychological abuses that were done in court (not stated in any Cute Overload posts), the multiple malicious lies that were stated in court but were not stated here, the fact that my abuser has been proven to have made himself an exception to the law and thus has made himself dangerous due to his “deaf defense” and a language barrier that he has refused or neglected to rectify, and the sexual assault that he did to me. Also, the malicious lies that were said in court must taken to task due to how malicious and defaming of my character they were and how they were used to put the outcome of the court hearing in the respondant’s favor. My energy level is great, and this case is by no means dead and gone. I have documentation to prove at least some of the lies that were said in court, and I am getting more documentation before the next court hearing. I have pro-bono lawyers to consult, and am taking their advice. To let the lying abuser and his lying witnesses win would be to give the impression that lying and bullying is the way to win, even in court, and would actually put me in more danger because they would think that they can do stuff like that and get away with it. Peace.

Dear Pointy Silent Meow- Please know that I want justice for you and all victims of abuse, just give yourself the option of pausing and re-evaluating how much any action will be to your benefit, and stay away from ‘spinning your wheels’ in a case that may be dead and gone. I don’t want you to victimize yourself by digging a deep hole of frustration. Justice is important, however, you and your energy level are even more important. Your friend, K.

Silent Meow…It IS deposition…I realized my mistake, woke up at 4:30
to try to make the change–you got it first. So, please ask the lawyer what deposition is and if it can be used…I really admire all you are doing-you are an inspiration to others and you are in my
prayers.

@hamster-on-rye
I just looked up the word. It’s deposition, I believe. Now, as for whether or not it can be used in this type of case, that I will most definitely ask the pro-bono lawyer tomorrow. I wrote it down and will take it with me so that I remember to ask. Thanks for the heads up.

Silent Meow, You might want to ask the pro-bono lawyer
what a disposition is–hope I have the right word–and whether it can be used in this type of case. I’m thinking of the witnesses here. I hope time is on your
side. I don’t know enough, but I do care.

I wish I could lie there between the baby and the kitteh, and just go sleepy-bye. That looks sooooooo comfterbuhls!
